COULSON BEAT PORTO IN CELEBRATION FRIENDLY.
(26/11/06)
FC Porto (3) 4
Coulson (1) 3

Coulson produced one of their greatest comebacks ever when they edged FC Porto 4-3 in a friendly match that was played as part of the celebrations for Coulson's title victory.

Kazza opened the scoresheet for Porto when he capitalised from Botha's terrible mistake right in the 18 yard box. The match went for halftime with Porto leading by three goals to one, Coulson's goal coming from trialist Jerry.
It seems coach Nobert poured some harsh words to the players especially the defenders during the breather. Coulson went into the second half a well determined side with Botha making for his mistake by grabbing the second goal for Coulson. The goal came as a result of a brilliant move involving the consistent defender Day who set up Botha with a through pass with Botha lobbing the ball over the advancing Porto goalkeeper.

The Coulson trialist Jerry impressed the coach by scoring two more gaols to make it four three. Also the last two goals came as a result of beautiful moves involving Day.
'I like venturing forward especially when Day is in there, in defence, because I know that he will cover for me and also he will deliver some defence splitting passes giving me a chance to score although I really score.' These were sentiments from Botha, the Coulson rightback who scored his first goal ever for the team.


SEASON ENDS IN BAD NOTE.
(25/11/06)

The last games of the season have seen Coulson becoming the league winners amid protests by Zhule who were beaten 1 nil by Masavhaya. Coulson needed to win against Calabash, fortunately Calabash failed to turn up for the match and the points given to Coulson thereby winning the league without kicking a ball.

Saurprisingly on the next Monday Zhule officials lodged a complaint to the Internal League organiser Mr SIbanda, Zhule alleged that Masavhaya used an external player. On seeing that this was not going to bear fruit they also further alleged that Coulson used anexternal golie on two occasions. This meant that Coulson was supposed to be deducted six points.
The matter is still in the hands of Mr Sibanda.

Meanwhile ZhuleZhule are closer to clinching the title after thrushing CS Porto by four goals to nil, they stil maintain a one point lead over title rivals Coulson.
"The absence of star midfielder Glen and striker Simba affected the teams scoring, but we are impressed by their performance considering that these players have become old" these were sentiments from a delighted staunch supporter, Felix.

However coach Nobhabha expressed concern on whether Coulson will clinch the title saying that the team which will play Zhule Zhule in their last match is not strong enough." Now I can see that we were the ones who were supposed to beat Zhule Zhule in order for us to take the title, now we are counting on Masavhaya to beat them which is unethical", said Nobhabha.
